Gentle on My Mind (Patti Page album)

The album was recorded right after her hit country song "Little Green Apples", which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart,^[2] and at No. 96 on the Hot 100.^[3] The other single included in the album was Gentle On My Mind (No. 7 on the Easy Listening chart and No. 66 on the Hot 100). The album includes many other well-known country hits, such as the Jim Reeves hit song, "Four Walls" and a country hit of 1967, "Green Green Grass of Home".

Gentle on My Mind became Page's final album to appear on any pop-oriented chart. It debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated July 27, 1968, peaking at No. 168 during a six-week run on the chart.^[4] It entered Cashbox magazine's Looking Ahead Albums chart, which was a continuation of their Top 100 Albums chart, in the issue dated July 13, 1968, peaking at No. 106 during a three-week run on the chart.^[5]

An unspecified reviewer on Record World said that "The songs here, mostly in the city - country frame, will fall gently on the ear", and noted, "But doesn't everything that Patti sings? 'Gentle on My Mind,' 'Green Green Grass of Home,' 'Skip a Rope,' 'Little Green Apples,' etc."^[6]

The album was reissued, combined with the 1965 Patti Page album Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, on compact disc by Collectables Records on August 24, 1999.
